Where to Play Poker in Chicago: All About Play Poker Chicago

Chicago, Illinois – the city of jazz, blues, and poker! If you're a fan of the game, you know that finding the right place to play can be a challenge. Well, worry no more! In this article, we'll introduce you to Play Poker Chicago, a charity poker room designed by players for players.

What is Charity Poker?

At its simplest, a charity poker room is a real poker room like the ones you've played in at casinos. You'll find great dealers, floor staff to ensure fair play, and a player-friendly atmosphere for all levels of players. But that's not all – our charity partners and Play Poker Chicago have several tournaments running during each event, with rake going to great causes. From veterans' organizations to animal rescues, we support everything in between.

Breaking Down the Charity Poker Room

Let's break it down:

  1. Show Me the Money! Tournaments pay out cash, just like at casinos. You don't have to give the charity any of your winnings; the tournament rake goes to the charity running the event.
  2. Multiple Tournaments We cater to tournament players by hosting several tournaments per event, with buy-ins ranging from $25 to $200. Our deep stacks feature 20-minute blind levels and a player-friendly structure.
  3. Cash Tables Just like at a casino, you can sit down with your chips and leave when you want, cashing in your winnings. We offer various cash table options, including our popular 1/2/3 game with an uncapped buy-in.

What Sets Us Apart

Here are some things that make Play Poker Chicago stand out:

  1. Player-Friendly Atmosphere We designed the room to be welcoming and fun for players of all levels.
  2. Cleanliness You won't find dirty rooms or equipment here – we replace cards every two months, and our tables and chips are top-notch.
  3. Fair Play Our clocks and room management system tracks player registration and re-buys in real-time, so you can see the prize pool growing on monitors and know we're playing by the rules.

Why Choose Us?

There are four charity rooms in the Chicagoland area, but we stand out with our innovations:

  1. THE Club Player Card Our card speeds up check-in and offers additional perks.
  2. Professional Poker Room Management System This system helps us manage the room and track buy-ins, ensuring a smooth experience for all players.

A Safe Place to Play

At Play Poker Chicago, you can rest assured that everyone involved – from our staff to our equipment supplier – is licensed by the state of Illinois. We're committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all players.
